Left Hand Side :
sin
x
+
cos
x
cot
x
We know that
cot
x
=
cos
x
sin
x
Therefore
sin
x
+
cos
x
cot
x
=
sin
x
+
cos
x

(
cos

)
=
sin
x
+
cos
2

=
sin

x
+
cos
2
x
sin

(We know the Trigonometric Identity
sin
2
x
+
cos
2
x
=
1
)
=
1
sin
x
=
csc
x
(Because Cosecant is the reciprocal of Sine)
Hence Proved.
